Rocco Spindler Joins Nebraska as Key Transfer

Nebraska football has bolstered its offensive line by acquiring Rocco Spindler, a former Notre Dame starter, via the transfer portal. Spindler, a 6-foot-5, 325-pound lineman and former four-star recruit, played 40 games with 23 starts at right guard for Notre Dame, including all four playoff games in their recent national championship run. This addition marks Nebraska's 16th transfer this cycle, as they seek to improve their roster under coach Matt Rhule, following their first bowl win in a decade. Spindler's decision was influenced by Nebraska's strong NIL support and his aspiration to be part of a historic football culture. The Huskers, who finished the 2024 season with a 7-6 record, are looking to strengthen their offensive line to protect quarterback Dylan Raiola. Spindler joins a Nebraska team eager to improve its offensive output under new offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen.
